A young girl is kneeling on the ground. One of Shaibus’ assistants is standing with a razor blade in his hand. He starts out by removing the hair in the girl’s armpits, then the eyebrows and finally the hair on her head. The people from the girl’s village are suspecting that the girl is possessed and have taken her to Kalembwana to get the evil spirit exorcised. Picture by Sofia Busk.
